A book of twelve short stories about different issues. The story 'Postcards' tells about a boy whose father is a truck driver, mostly in Europe. He goes on one trip with his dad, but after that dad never comes home again. Mum is not surprised, but the boy is very angry and hurt. He tears up the picture dad has sent of himself and his truck, but patches it again when he realises it is all he has. Sad, but truthful.
